Tutoring
Trained volunteers, many of whom are professional writers, are available to help students with their individual writing projects and any type of homework. Yes, we are a writing center, but we typically have at least one math tutor on site during drop-in tutoring sessions, and we also try to accommodate the sciences, foreign languages, and other academic needs.
Drop-in tutoring and homework help are available Monday-Thursday, 3:00-6:00 p.m., throughout the school year, based on the calendar of the Seattle Public Schools.
Other reasons to stop by
Students can also join us if they simply need a welcoming place to do homework, read a book, use our computers for Internet research, or work on their own writing projects (perhaps for publication in an 826 Seattle anthology or the Studio section of our web site).
Student registration
To get started, all students must register with us. You can register in person or print and complete the registration form, having a parent or guardian sign them, and mailing the forms to:
Registration

P.O. Box 30764

- For Parents and Guardians
- If we feel students are being disruptive, we may have to ask them to leave.
- Everyone is welcome for drop-in tutoring, but due to space constraints, we accommodate students on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- We are a writing and tutoring center, not an alternative to childcare for young children.
- Parents/guardians are responsible for getting their children home — tutoring ends promptly at 6:00 p.m.
“My son says that getting help at 826 is way better than having his parents help. The tutors are cool, and they easily relate to kids of all ages.”
